LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST
C-span

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by ken5050

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Sorry..I wish I could. They've locked the forum to everyone but paying customers. They say it's because of high volume but I suspect it's so they can have their mental breakdown in relative privacy.

Did they just cheer on the floor or am I hearing things? (Had a little noise in the kitchen...)

Lieberman is likely the only Blue state Dem who voted "aye." I like the guy.

Congratulations to the President and the Republican Senators, and thanks to all Democratic Senators who did the honorable thing and voted for cloture.

I have to say that the key moment in this process was when Specter spanked Kennedy when Ted tried to take over the hearings. The 'Rats never recovered from that. Arlen has been a good Chairman.

Judge Sam Alito is going to take Sandra Day O'Conner's seat on the Supreme Court. Thank you President George W. Bush!

Don't know of any UAVs that travel at that speed, don't know of any sats that maneuver in such short time. Sats are too high to compete with 70K feet up and traveling about 2,700kph. Toon's USAF didn't want to keep funding the fleet which was very costly, but I have never heard anyone publicly state the SR-71 capability has been replaced. Perhaps the full SR-71 capability was no longer needed after URRS went away.
